Uklon has launched Uklon Travel Bus, a branded international bus service designed to expand the company’s mobility ecosystem beyond urban rides. The pilot phase includes two international routes popular among Ukrainian travelers: Kyiv–Warsaw and Odessa–Chisinau. The first trip is scheduled for July 20, 2026, with further expansion to additional destinations planned after evaluating the initial results.
The new service builds on Uklon’s Travel platform, introduced in March 2026, which previously allowed users to search and purchase tickets from third-party bus operators. With Uklon Travel Bus, the company is moving into organizing its own routes, while transportation itself will be provided by partner carriers. Tickets are available through the Travel section in the Uklon app and on the company’s website.
Under the new model, Uklon is responsible for route organization, ticket sales, service standards, and passenger support, while partner carriers operate the buses. The integration with Uklon’s ride-hailing platform allows passengers to combine city transfers and international journeys within a single service, creating a more convenient travel experience.
“Uklon’s transformation from a single-product company into an ecosystem means we aim to cover all mobility needs of our users — from everyday city trips to international travel. Travel started as a bus ticket search and booking service, and within just a few months exceeded its target by 120%. This confirmed strong market demand, so we are taking the next step by launching our own Uklon Travel Bus routes in pilot mode,” said Serhii Hryshkov, CEO of Uklon.
Passengers using Uklon Travel Bus will have access to additional services, including Starlink internet, seat selection, direct connections to Warsaw Chopin Airport and Chisinau Airport, and return journeys. Travelers purchasing bus tickets may also receive a discount promo code for Uklon rides, subject to the company’s promotional terms.
Uklon is a technology company that developed the eponymous ride-hailing platform. Founded in Kyiv in 2010, Uklon is one of the leaders in the ride-hailing market in Ukraine. The company’s digital service ecosystem includes Uklon Delivery (delivery service), Uklon Ads (advertising platform) and Uklon Travel (trips).
As of March 2026, the Uklon services are available in 27 cities in Ukraine and on the territory of the Bukovel tourist complex. The company also operates in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Uklon is a wholly owned subsidiary of JSC Kyivstar, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kyivstar Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: KYIV; KYIVW).
